This area has been a favourite for some time. Lots of 2 pitch options with a good ridge above to provide varied sport.
It is situated at the head of the Rio Seco. Access is either from the Hoya de la Mora (5hrs) or from the Poqueira hut (2.5hrs). Best stay overnight in either the Poqueira refugio or the Cariguela or Villavientos huts.
The climbs are now in condition and have been done by spanish climbers in the last few days. Care is needed on the approach from the Cariguela as this traverses potentially difficult ground. Climbers report the traverse of paso de los Machos as being a little difficult with varying snow and ice states but with out major problems. However ….. don’t get caught off guard as there is tranparent sheet ice in places!
